Putin literally did this to bypass term limits in Russia.

Yeah. Putin supported Medvedev in 2008 to replace him as russia's president since putin could not run for reelection at that time. Medvedev returned the favour by choosing Putin as Russia's prime minister. At some united russia congress in 2012 Medvedev proposed that Putin run for the presidency in that year's presidency election. Russian election laws allowed medvedev and putin to pull off what they ended up pulling off in 2012.

I was going through some of my old things, and I found a collection of books that I bought when I was studying history in college. I had to buy/rent around at least 60 books during that time, and it really irked me to find out that nearly all the books that I was hoping I'd still have were not among the pile. Shit could have been really useful, especially now. In particular, I had a really great book when I was taking the history of the Civil War, which was sadly rented (the professor I had was awful, sadly, so I didn't get a chance to absorb as much from the class as I'd liked).

Sounds ideal to me lol

Bernie is too old, he's made a lot of missteps, he's wrong on some issues, and he's got some baggage which could really hurt him in the future. But he's still the best senator in America and his agenda would dramatically improve life in our country.

I want to vote for him, but I'd prefer to vote for somebody better.

Trump: Dems have no vision for the country other than "total socialism and maybe frankly a step beyond socialism based on what I'm seeing."

Bets on Trump to push for new HUAC?

He burns them all.
 
Generally there isn't much of one. To protect themselves, Presidents do a lot of research to vet potential pardons and clemencies. If they fuck it up, it's on them.

And sometimes it can get silly how they fuck up. Haley Barbour let out 200 people on his last day in office as governor (many of them relatives of wealthy people) and like a couple dozen of them were murderers and/or rapists. He legit didn't think anyone would notice the 2000% increase in pardons over his predecessor.

Shutting down the government over the wall would be the biggest gift trump could ever give democrats short of resigning.
 
This shit cracks me up.

I'm just a couple of haircuts away from equaling the number of staff departures by your WH colleagues. I get it. You are hard to work with.

Now even House GOP gettin' testy. GOD let it be soon...

So trump indirectly said he's going to pardon arpaio after all



Remember earlier months, when he was flailing at levers, trying to deflect and distract and show how much POWER he had at his hands to make his "enemies" suffer? I wonder how much of that is still possible for him now...

Sort of breathtaking how openly they're talking about Trump's potential mental health issues on CNN now. Wasn't that long ago this was a big no-no in the media.
